Cowboys will begin preparations for Tennessee on Wednesday

IRVING – The Cowboys won’t sit idle during the bye week. They begin preparations for Tennessee on Wednesday.

Dallas hosts the Titans on Oct. 10. The Cowboys will take Friday off after practicing Wednesday and Thursday.

“We don’t over prepare, we prepare for the next team and you have to do that every week, but the more you know about them the more you work on them the better chance you have to play well against that team and know their strengths and weakness,” Phillips said.

Phillips and his staff will also spend the bye week “analyzing everything we’ve done.”

“It’s a continuing process but you can get more specific during the bye week and say, ‘We can work on these things, these techniques these whatever it is, coverages, these pass routes, these releases, our receivers getting off the ball, whatever it is we need to identify we can do more so in the bye week.”
